Quick answers

I only cook for one or two. Will these recipes work?

Yes. Every recipe lists its serving size, so you know what you're working with before you start. Cut it down, or make the full batch and call tomorrow's lunch done. If you'd rather skip the math, try the Cookbook for Two, sized for smaller households.

Will this work with my air fryer?

Yes. Every air fryer cooks a little differently (size, wattage, and how thick your food is all play a part), so each recipe gives you a time range plus the internal temperature to cook to. Go by the temp, not the clock, and it'll come out right in yours. The cookbooks also walk you through adjusting recipes for your air fryer.

I'm new to air fryers. Where do I start?

You already know how to cook. The air fryer is just a new tool. Start with Air Fryers Unleashed, Cathy's course for getting comfortable with it fast. Rather figure it out as you go? Grab the cheat sheet or a cookbook, plus a meat thermometer, and start cooking.

See the course →
What if it's not for me?

No hard feelings. You'll find everything in our return policy.

Print or PDF: which should I get?

Same recipes either way. The 150+ Easy Air Fryer Recipes cookbook, 100+ Easy Air Fryer Recipes for Two, and the cheat sheet all come in print or PDF. Most people reach for the printed copy more (it's easy to keep open on the counter). The PDF downloads instantly and saves on shipping, which helps a lot outside the US, where international shipping gets expensive.

Can I cancel Empowered Cooks+ anytime?

Yes. Email us at hello@empoweredcooks.com and we'll cancel it, and you won't be charged again. Since membership gives you instant digital access, charges that have already gone through aren't refundable.
